Feb 15: Discovering new music

Hopefully a quotidian experience for all is listening to music... whether on vinyl, CD, on the radio, on smart speaker, streamed or even played live... And every now and again, new music, which we have the joy of hearing for the first time.. one of the great gifts of life...

In faith and in hope at the end of the day
Our love will endure ‘till we return to clay
Raise up your spirits my dearest of friends
And peaceful your heart in the light of this life

One of the last bands I saw live before the advent of COVID-19 was Altan.

This beautiful new song is by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, and available from Bandcamp. It is called 'Time of Light' and looks ahead to a hopeful future during these dark times.

Musicians need our support more than ever with the cancellation of live concerts and the Brexit omnishambles which has added barriers to their options for touring outside of the UK. 

See and purchase the song on Bandcamp.
